Show Notes

This week sparked a new wave of Environmental activism. The Group's idea is that, you switch off all of your electrical appliances, lights, or switch off at the breakers for 10 minutes, this effectively creates a 10 minute boycott of the privatised portions of our power supply, losing them up to an estimated £9m in revenue. this campaign is called the #bigpoweroff It happened on the 10th of April and is going to happen on the 16th of April at 7pm. this happened in Spain in 2019 and managed to cause lot of brown out leaving the electricity companies offer millions in concessions because they were in breach of their contracts of not supplying electricity to their customers. the last one didn't do much, we'll see what happens this weekend.
